All about organic cotton: a new collaboration with graphic art studio We are out of office
We teamed up with the Dutch design duo to create a Limited edition t-shirt featuring original artworks inspired by our organic cotton.

Being a small design studio ourselves, we are always on the lookout for like-minded independent businesses around us. Not only to get inspired (and amazed!) by what they do, but also to support them.

Since the moment we first saw We are out of office’s work, we knew we had to collaborate on a project together. Finally, we had the opportunity. And we are super excited to present you the results of our collaboration.

Have a look at the Limited edition t-shirt in 100% organic cotton with exclusive artworks from We are out of office here. The fabric of our t-shirts is a soft heavyweight organic cotton made in Portugal. Better for the environment and for your skin.

In their illustrations, Winneke and Felix often take inspiration from commercial products, their materials and their packaging. And this happened in our collaborative project as well. To create these artworks, they started indeed from the basics of our Essential t-shirt.

In particular, they worked using the specs of one of the materials that most define wetheknot: organic cotton. For the design of the t-shirt, we decided together to use 3 different techniques. Screen printing for the illustration on the back, an embroidery on the side with the weight of the fabric (250 g/m2) and a graphic patch on the front saying “Made in Portugal”.

As a way to reduce our environmental footprint, we chose not to produce new t-shirts. This is why we are only using already existing stock and we will be printing and customising the t-shirts on demand. Moreover, pre-orders allow us to avoid any possible waste. As a sustainable slow fashion brand, minimising our impact in the production process is a priority.

The organic cotton we use in our Collections comes with a special brushing that makes the t-shirts and sweatshirts super soft to the touch. No need to say, comfort is extremely important to us. Wear our pieces over and over again, all day long and in any circumstance.

Above all, we like our products to be as long-lasting as possible. This Limited edition t-shirt in heavyweight organic cotton is robust and soft at the same time. Therefore, you can wash it several times without losing quality nor structure. If you want to learn more about the fabrics we use and how to care for them, have a look at our Materials.
